June 27, 2019 — STAFF REPORT
Housing Authority — Award of Contract to Garland (PDHA Roof Repairs)
Page 2 of 3
Background Analvsis
On September 10, 2016, the Authority approved a contract with Garland/DBS, Inc.
("Garland") for the purpose of providing roof and deck management assessment and
related services for the Authority properties for a six month term with two one-year
extensions taking the contract through June 30, 2019.
With the recent rains, several properties (which include Sage Crest Sr. Apartments, One
Quail Place, Las Serenas and Taos Palms) have had roof leaks affecting some of the
units' interior. Although the immediate need to address and repair fall under emergency
work, it is very difficult to obtain roofing companies to perform the emergency repairs
necessary due to a limited availability of companies that meet the prevailing wage
requirements that still apply in an emergency circumstance. Since Garland has been
meeting the prevailing wage requirement and performing satisfactorily under its current
contract obligations, the Authority desires to enter into a new contract.
Under the provisions set forth in the City of Palm Desert Municipal Code ("Municipal
Code"), Section 3.30.160 (L), the Authority may obtain routine and recurring services,
supplies, and maintenance by adopting a procedure approved by the City Manager.
The roof repairs and related services and products intended to be solicited from
Garland/DBS, Inc. ("Garland"), have been accepted as routine and recurring. Further,
the provisions of the Municipal Code Section 3.30.160 (E), allow the Authority to
participate as a government entity with U.S. Communities ("U.S. Communities")
Agreement Contract No. 14-5903 (Active from January 1, 2015 through December 31,
2019; a copy is on file with the City of Palm Desert's City Clerk's Office.), under their
cooperative pricing for roof repairs and related services provided by Garland through
their "DryZone" Services Program at the Authority properties. Garland has confirmed it
will provide to the Authority, as a participating entity, the U.S. Communities contract
terms, products, product warranty, services and pricing.
Under the U.S. Communities established pricing, the three year contract with the
Authority's discretion to extend the contract for two one-year extensions, would be in a
total annual amount not to exceed $75,000 for Garland to complete roof repairs which
may be necessary for any unforeseen issues (i.e., leaks, etc.) that include materials and
competitively bid project -specific labor through the "DryZone" program. Small individual
repairs typically have ranged from $750.00 to $2,500.00 per occurrence, with larger
comprehensive repairs ranging from $10,000 to $15,000. There was no increase in
cost from the current contract, and the proposed pricing for services through June 30,
2020 will remain the same. Increases, if any, during the term, will be pursuant to the
terms of the U.S. Communities contract including any prevailing wage adjustments to
labor rates. Staff has reviewed and determined that the proposed costs are reasonable
and in accordance with the current market conditions.
June 27, 2019 — STAFF REPORT
Housing Authority — Award of Contract to Garland (PDHA Roof Repairs)
Page 3 of 3
Staff recommends that the Authority enter into a new contract with Garland for these
repair services for a three year term with the option of two one-year extensions for the
Properties, effective July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022. The Contract will be in a total
annual amount not to exceed $75,000 including any additional costs related to the
repairs services (i.e., permits fee, etc.).
Fiscal Analvsis
Approval of staff's recommendation to authorize award of contract with Garland would
result in an expenditure in a total annual amount not to exceed $75,000 including any
additional costs related with the repairs services (i.e., permits fee, etc.) which will be
paid from the annual Authority's proposed operating budget.

The leak response service ensures emergency contact within 48 hours and repair service
within 72 hours. All leaks and repairs are recorded in the Dry Zone database that helps
prioritize and manage all roof areas for our clients. One of the greatest benefits of leak
response is that you have a history of where your leaks are occurring and haw much you are
spending to correct them.
Leak Response program services include:
• On demand building envelope repair services
■ Email reporting system alerts GDI and authorized contractors of leaks and repairs
■ Emergency response to service calls within 48 hours or less, non -emergency response
within 72 hours
• Competitive labor and material rates guaranteed for calendar year
• Before and after pictures, scope of work performed, and invoicing are uploaded to the
work order report on the Dry Zone Database
• Not to exceed amount established for repairs requested through the program
• Recommendations for improved performance provided when frequent leaks occur
• Dry Zone Database creation and access
Page 3
one"
The Program includes an electronic leak reporting mechanism through which the Customer
can notify GDI, the local Garland sales representative, and the Authorized Contractor to
initiate immediate response and corrective action should a leak occur. In the event of a
leak or other roofing problem, Customer will notify GDI via the electronic reporting system
as established for the Program via email at palmdesertha@garlandind.com. Upon
notification, the response from GDI will be as soon as possible, with best efforts within 48-
72 hours.
When responding to a reported leak, GDI and/or the Authorized Contractor will inspect the
leak area, determine the cause, and arrange for the repairs. Repair costs will be billed to
Customer on a time and material basis. Repairs performed on roof areas are to temporary
maintain the roof, not provide a permanent solution. As each repair is completed, updates
will be made to the Program database to include information regarding the condition of the
roof, the nature of the repairs, and photos to help visually verify the information provided.
For leaks on roof areas with Garland warranties, an Authorized Contractor will perform
repair and bill Garland for work performed. If the cause is neglect or damage outside the
terms and conditions of the Garland warranty, repair costs will be at the Customer's
expense on a time and material basis.
